Amos 5:8 (ESV)
… who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the Lord is his name.
Still water, shallow enough to play in. Rushing water, powerful enough to polish rocks and rearrange landscapes. Gentle streams and raging floods, poured out by God.
Prayer, full of joy. Prayer, reshaping hearts and moving mountains. Poured out to God, poured out by God.
Good morning, Lord. My praise and problems, my gratitude and requests — I pour them like water before Your throne every day. In so doing, my heart becomes kinder, my soul less-self-centered, my mind more focused on goodness and mercy. Folks say, “prayer changes things,” and that is true. But prayer changes people … it changes me. For that, I am eternally grateful.
